Abstract
Distinguished are:
-
1.
Primary changes — the disorder affects repolarization only.
-
2.
Secondary — repolarization is changed because depolarization is already abnormal. In an interventricular conduction disorder with a prolonged QRS complex (in bundle branch block and ventricular extrasystoles), an alternative path of repolarization corresponds to the abnormal path of depolarization.
